Is Jokic’s playmaking overrated? (alien.top)

Not to say that he isn’t a great playmaker, but just because he averages 10 assists and makes some unnecessarily fancy passes from time to time does not at all justify him as having one of the highest offensive peaks ever.

10apg is good but nothing crazy especially when he’s the primary playmaker of the team to begin with. There are plenty of PGs in the league who can do that.

He also averaged 4 turnovers per game last season which is pretty sloppy but everyone seems to ignore this.

Jokic can thread the needle, but what makes him special is his ability to anticipate cuts, process how the defense reacts, and then throw a dime all in a split second. He also controls the tempo of the offense masterfully, a true maestro on offense akin to the #10 on a soccer field.
